Top Rated 15 Schools in Fort Myers, FL - A Guide for Parents and Students

Miralda Ingrid “Ingris Malave” Excellent place, where as a parent you feel calm because you know that your child will be fine. My daughter loves Grace School, the staff and her friends. A pleasant environment where my daughter has been since she was two years old and learned how to live with children to be independent and have optimal educational learning. Receiving daily photographs of my daughter gave me great satisfaction and security knowing about her. The theme of clothing every Friday which my daughter enjoyed very much. I am very grateful to Grace School and my daughter will always carry them in her heart as the best memories of her first academic learning and socialization. Thank you very much.

Kate Rose This daycare is wonderful! My son is two and we had previously left his prior daycare because he was getting behavioral referrals every single day. I was so worried, but this change has been a blessing for our family! With only a few problems at the beginning, my son has received 2 referrals in the 6 months he has been there. They keep you up to date on everything and there are so many fun engaging things they do weekly. He loves going to school and even asks to go on the weekends (a two year old who wants to be there speaks for itself!) The staff members are so nurturing, supportive and welcoming! I can ask any questions and we have discussions that leave me feeling confident. My son is excelling in his academic learning and his speech has improved tremendously! The integration of Christian beliefs and fostering such a positive place to learn about God and loving him is nothing short of admirable and inspiring! I absolutely love them!

Kaisy Turner My daughter has been going to grace community for a little over a year now and I can’t begin to explain how wonderful this daycare is. Everyone is so friendly and so nice. And a big shoutout to ms Amy. She is always so helpful. Any questions or concerns she is always there to help. I always have a peace of mind when I drop my baby off for the day. I know she is in good hands with grace community.

A. Will Called today and asked what days and times the nursing classes would take place. I was told they were unable to give me that information over the phone - that I would need to sit in on one of their seminars. For one question... No thanks. Something doesnt seem right there. Highly suspicious.

Paula Everyone is willing to help you and be part of your journey. It is your opportunity to build a future.

Matthew Medeiros I got expelled after getting in to an altercation with another student that caused me bodily harm as well as my hand to bleed they trespassed me off the property and have been harassing me for the last 2 months due to ATA squad their student leadership program I would not recommend going to this college the instructors are great the administrative not so much and they just allow the students to do what they want without maintaining a safe environment for students to learn in.

Derek VerDow I have had my son enrolled since he was 1. Staff is kind and loving. My son is always loved and cared for. Over the past 2 years I have gotten to know the owners. Luke and Cadence are an amazing young couple, and true followers of Jesus. They care for and love everyone. My son is 3 and he knows the lords prayer. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

Edwin Castro *** editing to your response** You all have my information in your system. As an organization you should reach out to me. I already made my attempt in person.** * . I am extremely upset and frustrated with this daycare. After sending my son for just one day, I noticed a staff member handling another child in a questionable way. When I picked up my son, he cried as soon as he saw me. Once we got home, he told me that a staff member had grabbed his arm in a way that hurt him and made him feel scared. I immediately brought this to the attention of the daycare and requested to see the footage of the classroom to understand what happened. To my shock, I was told their cameras don’t record. This lack of accountability is unacceptable. As a parent, I trusted this daycare to provide a safe and nurturing environment for my child, and instead, he was hurt and fearful after just one day. My son and daughter will not be returning, and I urge all parents to listen to their kids when they share these kinds of experiences. Trust your instincts and prioritize your child’s safety.

Meghan Dennis Our kids love going to Grace. Everyone in the building knows their names and they wave bye to all their teachers every day. I recommend to all my mom friends!

M. S. The job placement person tells you to just go on indeed, thats all he does. So its not actually a benefit, the guy gets paid for nothing... And he has an assistant! They allow students to stay in school even though they mess with and change settings on welding equipment, very dangerous for everyone in building, especially for the person in the welding booth. Still havent gotten money back for a certificate test that the company they used was not certified in giving. This college has no standing with local businesses in the welding field.

Cynthia Cox Mrs. Jessica Osborne was also my teacher she is a wonderful asset to Fort Myers Technical College.

First Harvest The Automotive Mechanics instructors & students are absolutely exceptional in their ability, knowledge , Quality of work & Courtesy !! Truly!! After paying out $1k to a common everyday mechanic shop and leaving that shop with the same issues & additional ones as well with absolutely NO insight nor diagnosis on our vehicle we felt duked & out of options until we brought it to the Excellent team at Fort Myers Tech & were reassured that we would at least be given answers to what was wrong with our truck which we so desperately needed!! We from now on will refer anyone in need to this Exceptional program for any diagnosis & repairs !! Thank you guys sooo much your a blessing

Holly Ortiz Sadly, not the Christian school I thought would be beneficial for teens. This school has turned their backs on multiple youths and my child who needed the love of God the most, during their most difficult times. We expected grace and help but instead we left knowing the true definition of rejection and hypocrisy. They look the other away for other children because it benefit the schools financial needs. And knowing our personal business is being share by staff to others is what hurts the most. Never been more disappointed with a Christian community like I am with this school.

Anne E My son has thrived at ECS. The expectations for behavior are high but we fully support the expectations of students’ behavior. Read the parent handbook ahead of time so you know if you can support what is enforced. The academics are challenging and Biblical, and my son has learned so much since coming from public school. He has become a better writer, mastered math concepts, and even knows grammar structure. His teachers have been great communicators, and have helped him grow academically, spiritually, and socially. I also love that they have a full time Lee County SRO now, and a school chaplain. I look forward to many more years there!

Mariah Hyde Traumatizing experience of private school. My son is in first grade, 6 years old. He is a hyper little boy but any time he made a mistake it was an automatic suspension by the second week of school. This is not a child who is purposely hurting people or being violent, but as many people warned me their expectations for little kids is extreme. 6 years old and instead of disciplining a child, putting them in detention where they can understand the conveniences they automatically suspend them after they have been in trouble more than twice. Kids cannot be kids, there is no room for error. This broke my heart believing this was a faith based school and that thinking he would have teachers that would help him succeed in life. If you have a child that has any sort of lack of focus, is working on behaviors, or is less than perfect in a classroom setting I highly recommend READ THE HANDBOOK before enrolling in this school. The merit system seems great for children who understand it. But for elementary students learning a classroom setting and rules it can be a parents worst nightmare.

Niah Amezquita We’re so excited for our first year at the school with both my 3-year-old and kindergartener attending! I’ve heard countless wonderful things from other parents. Being half Greek, I’m thrilled about the cultural opportunities they’ll have. The school has been incredibly patient with all my questions (and there have been many!), making the transition from daycare to school so smooth and easy. I can’t thank them enough for their support!

Jessica Rojas My son has been here for two years now, since kindergarten. He absolutely loves it here. Both his teachers have been amazing, kind and patience. His growth has been a reflection of that. They dont have art or music for the younger kids but they do have Greek, Spanish, P.E., and a stem lab they go to. Definitely recommend checking the school out.

Chef Nathans Sweet Recipes This is an amazing school! All 3 of my children attend and we couldnt be happier. Theres small class sizes, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Communication is great and there are so many activities and fun things going on that make my kids want to go to school! We love it here.

Elie Poulard It was really nice

Angelica Rivera Just Love it!

Isacc Ávila maturrell They should give students a map app so they dont get lost please.

Alicia J Love it

Kristie Scott This is the absolute best day care ever. My family has literally used this day care for many many years. My oldest daughter attended from 3 mos old until she finished VPK. My middle child from 7 weeks through VPK, and now my youngest has been there for about 6 months (he’s still a baby). Now, why are they amazing. 1) they have a very clean, very safe environment 2) staff is very smart, knowledgeable and really teaches your kids and 3) the school partners with parents very well. 4) it is a God filled environment…. 5) so much more! About 8 years ago, I was a first time mom and the teachers were very good about helping me by telling me things that were needed for my child’s development. Little comments about what my child may like to eat, or recommendation of switching from bottle to sippy cup were really helpful. This place is like family. We love everyone here and are very grateful for everyone at MELA.

stephanie lambert My daughter has been there for over 2 years and I love it!

Stephanie Sylvestre Attentive and caring. My daughter has had great teachers so far. After 9 hours of attending daily class my daughter still cries when we pick her up.
